This thread is to share your Korean Slang knowledge!

From personal experience I have realized that no one can really "learn" or "study" slang from textbooks or from classes.

Common slang words I hear:

쩐다, 쩔어 Jjun-Da/Jjuhl-Uh: To emphasis something
Examples:
the smell of feet is really bad= 발냄새 쩐다 (bahl naem sae jjun-da)
Really Cool= 완전 쩔어 (Wahn jun jjuhl-uh)

졸래, 존나 Johl-leh, Jon-na: Hella (Be cautious when using this, it's considered to be a mild swear word)
Examples:
I'm hella irritated= 졸래 짜증나 (Johl-lae jja-jing na)
That's hella pretty= 존내 이쁘다 (Jon-nae ee-bbeu-da)

간지, 간지난다 Ganji, Ganji nahn da: Stylish/Cool
Example:
Hella Stylish/Cool= 졸래 간지다 (Johl-lae ganji da)

So go ahead, share, share, share!

I want to know what "AISHH" really means.. cuz my friend told me that she heard a couple of koreans speaking about how they get annoyed when they hear non-koreans saying "Aishh!.." all the time when they don't even know what it really means and how they don't know how its actually close to a swear word.

[Wow. Super run-on sentence.. haha] But yeah. I'd like to know more korean slang =P

P.S.: Sorry, I got none myself though..

It's short for AH SHIBBAL!!! Which means basically aww mini cooper. It's not considered as bad though.

honestly... you're not half as special as you think you are.

Well, "Aish" is used when someone is annoyed/pissed off.

I would roughly translate it to "Damn it" or "mini cooper"
